Recording a video

•Some memory cards may not support high definition recording. If this occurs, set a lower resolution. (p. 39)

•Memory cards with slow writing speeds will not support high resolution videos and high-speed videos. To record high-resolution or high-speed videos, use memory cards with faster writing speeds.
